In this engaging interview, Chance Meeting and I dive deep into the SignalGate scandal, unraveling the classified communication blunder that's shaking the administration. We explore the strategic intent—or lack thereof—behind the scandal, its implications for press freedom, and the MAGA playbook of distraction and deflection. But we didn't stop there. We tackled the alarming authoritarian drift evident in mass deportations to El Salvador, the erosion of First Amendment rights, and how these disturbing actions might be deliberate stress tests for democracy itself.
Ultimately, the discussion pivots to solutions: Why income inequality might be the single most critical issue of our time—and how a fresh vision of "Democracy for the 21st Century" can reinvigorate American political life. Join us as we unpack complex issues with insight, urgency, and a touch of humor.
